About 20 years ago I was looking for a place to rent as a young guy, and one place I looked at was one of these. It was a 1 room mini house in someone's backyard. Now I have a term for it!

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.

But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Their point is they dont even know it wasnt a bomb. This person is a philosophical zombie. Best ignored.

You claim to be the only one that truly remembers or experienced 9/11.
It wasnt a bomb.

A big part of the ugly aftermath of 9/11 was the patriot act and the DHS, which still haunt us to this day. Invoke the word terrorist - right or wrong- and the constitution goes away.
The confusing thing here is this could be helping your point.
I think 9/11 was an excuse for a power grab though.

Does anyone recognize this artifact? I'm storing the texture in multiple images to avoid exceeding max image dimensions and I'm getting this weird glitch at the tile boundaries

Even stranger, it isn't reflected in the UVs (second picture) and the sampler is set to nearest + clamp-to-edge

Itd be better if we fired trump and then got rid of all of them, but a nice win regardless.

so I flagged the review as off-topic but steam mods cleared it ofc.

They also happily leave up comments from the reviewer saying it will be ironic when my friends and family are shot. That LGBT people are trash etc.

But hey, I reply saying that the guy needs therapy and they remove that comment.

I'm trying to understand how revenue works when you have both Steam and a publisher involved.

I haven't seen this POV about what taxes are for before. It explains that taxes do not fund the government, and explains what they do.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧡
